Max,
We're not supporting $Log$ (this was one of the few things this list
has ever achieved near-unanimous agreement on :-) ), so it won't be a
problem.
In fact, quite a few of the CVS/RCS keywords are meaningless for
Subversion, and others may mean something subtly different. But
that's for another post.
